ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, RENOVATE! Don’t wait too long to bring your lifestyle dreams to the vibrantly hip neighborhood of South Gate in the heart of mid-town Sarasota! This property is located on an especially desirable street surrounded by more expensive renovated MID-CENTURY homes. Its classic 3/2 split plan boasts a large 9,000 sq. ft. lot ready for a savvy investor, builder, or anyone wanting to create a custom home. Built on a high lot across the street from Phillippi Creek, this 1,642 sq. ft. block construction property is NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE and presents a great makeover opportunity: NEW ROOF 2022 with 20-year transferable warranty, longstanding termite protection plan, conversion to public sewer, spacious backyard with plenty of room for both home expansion and pool, and Florida Power & Light is starting to install UNDERGROUND UTILITIES on Jaffa Drive. South Gate is in the top-rated Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview International Baccalaureate High School district and has an optional homeowner association ($75 annual with member pool and Sarasota School of Architecture clubhouse). But rest assured, South Gate’s values are also protected by deed restrictions. Walk, bike, or drive to charming Southside Village, Sarasota’s thriving downtown arts district, world-class beaches, and nationally recognized hospital/health corridor. Located 5 miles from I-75 and 20 minutes from Sarasota International Airport it is also ideal for commuters or part-time residents.
